Brat Ye Is So Arrogant, Could He Really Be the Reincarnation of Some Powerful Person?
"I, Ye Jin, do not need to explain my actions to others…Hmph hmph hmph... Good boy, you are arrogant and bold enough. When the old me was at his age, I did not dare to be so arrogant. I even had to tuck my tail between my legs…" In the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a cold laugh that was either mocking or praising.
Mao Xiang stood at the side with his hands behind his back, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Although Mao Xiang and his Embroidered Uniform Guards were awe-inspiring on the outside, once they entered the Imperial Palace, they were as docile as puppies in front of this sixty-year-old man.
"Such an arrogant little brat, is he really the son of that rich man from the countryside?! This old man had countless enemies in his life, but the only one who was so arrogant was Chen Jiu Si (Chen You Liang). Could it be that he was really the reincarnation of Chen Jiu Si?!”Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head again and muttered to himself,"It doesn't seem like it..." Chen Jiu Si was not only arrogant, he was also very sinister and cunning. Betraying his master for glory was a common occurrence for him. However, although this kid was a little arrogant, his actions were open and aboveboard. Moreover, he was not the kind of person who would kill indiscriminately…Forget it, doesn't the Crown Prince like him very much? Let the Crown Prince teach him well. Perhaps he will really become a pillar of the country in the future…"
Even though Mao Xiang heard every word clearly, his eyes and heart were lowered as he remained cautious.
After leaving the main gate of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, he swore that he would throw all these words to the back of his mind and not remember a single word.
Otherwise, he would not be far from death.
After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang finally came back to his senses and continued to ask," How did the Imperial Censor hear this case?!”
Mao Xiang hurriedly reported," Because this case involves the officials of the current dynasty and the Imperial College students.”
Old Zhu snorted coldly and said indifferently," An idiot who hasn't passed the examination for three consecutive years is worthy of being called an Imperial Supervisor?!”
However, Mao Xiang did not seem to hear this. He waited for Old Zhu to finish before continuing," Therefore, the imperial censor did not dare to act arbitrarily. He reported the case to the Imperial Censorate and sent a document to the Heaven Ying Prefecture and the Imperial College to let the three yamens handle the case together. As for Ye Jin, even though Lord Lu strongly requested for him to be imprisoned, the imperial censor still allowed him to return to Shangyuan County to wait.”
Old Zhu nodded slightly.
Although the imperial censor was suspected of evading the responsibility, this punishment was clearly in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.
In Old Zhu's opinion, it wasn't a bad thing for that idiot Lu to be beaten up.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Crown Princess Consort Lu was considered filial, this idiot who had humiliated the directorate he had high hopes for would have been kicked out long ago.
Moreover, this fool had even teased Ye Jin's maidservant in front of him.
That little bastard was not afraid of anything. He dared to accuse Old Zhu of forgetting his capital in front of him.
Old Zhu wouldn't be surprised even if this kind of person beat the idiot Lu to death.
But since he wasn't killed yet, he decided to leave it at that.
Therefore, Old Zhu thought about it and said," The Embroidered Uniform Guards should not interfere in this matter. Let the Yingtian Prefecture, Imperial Censorate, and directorate handle it themselves. However, if someone tried to use this case to cause trouble, hmph, they would be severely punished.”
Although the last four words were spoken lightly, Mao Xiang could still smell the blood in them.
He hurriedly cupped his hands and accepted the order." Yes."
...
It's three quarters of an hour.
After Zhu Biao finished handling the government affairs for the whole day, he brought his attendants out of the Hall of Political Affairs and headed to the Empress's bedroom, the Hall of Phoenix Rites.
Empress Ma had been bedridden for some time, so Zhu Biao would go to the Phoenix Ceremony Hall to pay his respects whenever he had time.
Although he was feeling better these few days, Zhu Biao was still worried.
Therefore, even though he had been tired for the whole day, he still wanted to see Empress Ma.
Empress Ma was one of the most virtuous empresses in the history of China.
Throughout the five thousand years of Chinese history, only Empress Zhangsun of the Zhenguan period of the Great Tang could compare to her.
However, Empress Ma and Empress Zhangsun were different.
Empress Zhangsun was born into a prestigious family, so she gave people the feeling that she was a phoenix in the sky. Although she was kind, she could not get close to her.
But Empress Ma was different.
She, who was born in poverty, understood the sufferings of the people at the bottom of the society better. She also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's success in conquering the country was not just his own credit, but the result of the joint efforts of many civil officials, generals, and soldiers.
Therefore, when she was alive, she repeatedly advised Zhu Yuanzhang to implement a benevolent policy and be benevolent to the people.
Moreover, he shouldn't be too harsh on meritorious officials and nobles, easily destroying their families.
Under her protection, many people who had made contributions were not implicated in Hu Weiyong's case.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, Li Wenzhong, was the third person in the Ming Dynasty after Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. He had made outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
However, because he had openly questioned Old Zhu's murderous nature in the court and used Hu Weiyong's case to suppress the dignitaries and officials in the court, he was thrown into the Zhao Prison by the furious Old Zhu. He was prepared to be sentenced, and even Crown Prince Zhu Biao could not be persuaded.
Later, it was Empress Ma who dissuaded Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Li Wenzhong was also relieved of all his positions and imprisoned in the Public House for his retirement.
However, if it weren't for Empress Ma, Zhu Wenzhong would have already made a trip to Caishikou.
Old Zhu was furious. He could probably even kill his own son, let alone his own nephew.
In this world, the only person who could make Old Zhu's heart soften and listen to advice was probably Empress Ma.
Therefore, Zhu Biao didn't dare to imagine what kind of bloodshed would happen in the royal court after his mother died.
With a trace of melancholy, he stepped into the Empress's bedroom.
However, just as he walked to the door, he heard the sound of crying coming from the bedroom.
Zhu Biao turned pale with fright and quickly walked into the bedroom.
He thought that something had happened to Empress Ma.
However, as soon as he entered the palace, he saw Empress Ma sitting on the main seat with a helpless expression.
Zhu Biao heaved a sigh of relief. He looked towards the source of the crying and saw his Crown Princess Consort, Lady Lu, wiping her face with a handkerchief.
Zhu Biao's face darkened. He walked over and scolded angrily," Mother has just recovered from her illness. Why are you crying and making a scene in her bedroom?!”
These words were very serious, and it immediately frightened Madam Lu.
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at her son and said unhappily," My daughter-in-law has been wronged. What's wrong with crying to me?! Could it be that I can't even make the decision for her?!”
Zhu Biao hurriedly bowed to Empress Ma." I'm worried about Mother's health.”
"Your mother's body is still fine." He raised his hand and pointed at the seat beside him, asking Zhu Biao to sit down."Did you just come out from the Hall of Political Affairs?! Have you eaten?"
"I didn't succeed. I just wanted to come to Mother's place to beg for food.”Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at him and said in a doting and worried tone," You and your father are both busy people. When you get busy, you even forget to eat. But your father is a boor and his body can take it. Don't be like him. You have to eat when it's time to eat."”
"I understand." Zhu Biao quickly replied.
Empress Ma then said to Madam Lu," Don't cry. Hurry up and serve your man his meal.! Then, tell him about your grievances. He is the crown prince of the country. If you really have grievances, won't he uphold justice for you?!”
Hearing Empress Ma's words, Madam Lu quickly stood up and carefully sat beside Zhu Biao.
